It was a bad radio. They ordered e new one. They got it in a couple of days a installed it a week later. It solved the issue. I’ve since traded it in on a new ’24 model TRD Off Road with the Premium package.

Well heck, after saying that I wouldn't, I ended up trading for a new 2024 yesterday; There are just a lot of things that I love about the new ones. My only hesitation was longevity of the new motor but decided to give it a try. It has plenty of power and seems quiter and more responsive than...

They actually called today to let me know that they have my new radio. They can’t get to me until next Tuesday however. I starting thinking about it and decided to check the connectors as you suggested. If that was indeed the issue, the new radio wasn’t going to solve the problem anyway. I...

Well, I have a slightly different perspective. I drive a 2022 TRD Off Road. I took it in for service yesterday, bad radio, and while I waited for them to decide they had to order a new radio, I walked around and looked at the new trucks. To be honest, I really like the styling. They look...

I don't have a lot of miles on it because my wife has some health problems and doesn't drive much or even leave the house very often. Also, she has a 2014 Camaro convertible that she enjoys driving when she can. Heck, her Camaro ionly has 22,000 miles on it; I work a lot, self employed, and...

2018 Tacoma TRD Off Road. Bought new and have just over 18,000 miles on it. Everything was fine when I drove it yesterday. Got it in this morning and the radio. screen never came on. Just a black screen. Have checked the fuses and all are good if I found them all. Radio fuse 1 and fuse 2...

Yes, I'm waiting for it to indicate that it is locked before trying to start. Bonifacio may be on to something though. There may be a time delay. This morning, I used the key fob to lock the truck before trying the remote start. After locking it with the key fob, I walked back into the house...

I'm no expert but am completely computer and phone literate. I've checked the things you have mentioned but am 99.9% sure that it is not a phone or connection issue. I seldom lock my truck. I don't use the remote start every day but on the mornings that I do, I first have to use the APP to...

Sorry, that was a typo. It should have been a couple of minutes, not miles.

Yes, it's the Toyota remote start. I alaways keep my apps updated, check for updates every morning. Haven't tried deleting and redownloading it though. May try that later. Not a huge deal, just irritating. I'll ask them about it the next time I take it in for service but I've found in the...

I have a 2022 TRD Off Road. I have a question about the Toyota App remote start. Mine NEVER works on the first try. It's pretty simple. Truck must be locked. Press and hold the start button. When I do, the icon just spins until it times out, usually at least a couple of miles, and nothing...

I've gone through the voice training but I think I did it with the truck off. I'll try it again.

Yes, I looked at that. It was one notch from being all the way up. I turned it the rest of the way up but doubt it will help a lot. We'll see.

Thanks folks. I'm sure it did the same thing in my '18 then but I rarely connected the bluetooth in it. Glad to find out that it's just the way it is. I like the Apple Car Play but am not crazy about using the phone over they system. I've find that people have a hard time hearing me.

OK...let me see if I can explain this issue. I have a 2022 Tacoma TRD Off Road. It is fully loaded and I love it but have noticed an issue that doesn't seem right to me. It has Apple CarPlay and I like that a lot. I don't always use it though, especially if it's just a quick trip...
